Yes you can file complaint now for your wife and for her grievances. Although complaint is time barred but she can approach th concernd department for legal action against the accused person. She has courage to fight her case

Sir,
There is no legal bar in filing the complaint now. Though limitation may be a difficulty, but at least there is no legal bar. It may also be difficult to collect evidence etc., I do not know. POCSO Act may also be invoked. Place of occurrence of the crime is also important.
The rest when we meet.

Were your wife applied/written the complaint at that time to any competent authority. Are you or ur wife have any proof related rapes. I advised to you that you and your wife meet me at my chamber for discuss for file any complaint or case.
